IoT Core Jobs Existence Error

Question

Hi,

I am using IoT Core service creating the OTA job. However, I found whenever I ran into an error on creating the job, the next time when I modify the job configuration and keep the same name to create the job again. I ran into an error that `Requested otaUpdateJob testOTAUpdateJob already exists` However, when I go back to the job list, there is no such job at all. Is this error expected? I doubt all the jobs that fail on the creation was saved as a draft somewhere. But I can't find them on Management Console. At this point, I have to make my job name unique every time I failed on creating the OTA update job.

Thank you in advance

When you create a FreeRTOS OTA job named `foobar` in the console, it will actually create a job named `AFR_OTA-foobar`. However it will also create an OTA update resource named `foobar`. You can see this using the CLI command `aws iot list-ota-updates`. Even if you delete the `AFR_OTA-foobar` job, the `foobar` OTA update resource will remain. And hence you can't re-use the name until or unless you delete that resource using `aws iot delete-ota-update --ota-update-id foobar`.
